Natural Progression. for M lady Magdalena

sonnet in tetrameter

 

 

 

Natural Progression.

 

A amidst the green a flash of red

and here and there a golden tone

The summertime has swiftly sped.

Now Autumn comes to reign alone.

Her reign is short but beautiful

The trees adopt their party dress

 the brilliant colours wonderful.

Well calculated to impress.

Soon wintry gales will strip the trees

 denude them of their finery.

Until this happens they will please

 students of nature’s artistry.

And then revert to black and white

 to some photographers delight.

This is bright and airy. The rhymes seem a bit forced but make up for it by moving swiftly.

I think you have captured the essence of a song here. I would separate this into stanzas after lines 4, 8, and 12... not that it would make a big difference.

That one dances to a chipper tune I like it
